CORINTH, Miss, Jan. 10, 1887.
Ever since | came out of the war,up
to two years ago, | had catarrh. AT
times the disease was very offensive.

see, and nearly every catarrh medi-
cine that | saw advertised but | got
no permanent relief until two years
ago when / began taking S, s. S. |
felt immediate benefit from the med
icine, and after taking six bottles ]
felt like new man. When / began
using the medicine ! was in very
bad condition my digestion was
poor, had rheumatic pains in my
knees, and my feet were always cold.
These unpleasant conditions were
remedied at once by Swift's Specific.
l ceased using the medicine after
the six bottles, because / felt so we'll
that thought l was entirely cured.
This past fall, however, ! had a re-
lapse-evidently I had stopped tax
ing S. S. S. too soon. So I at once
began with the medicine, and am
happy totell you that am very much
improved, my general health being
excellent, and the catarrh rapidly
disappearing.

Prohibition as an Issue.

New York World.
The letter of Senator-elect Reagan,
of Texas, announcing his purpose to
vote for the Prohibition constitution
al amendment in that State, is anote-
worthy deliverance. Mr.. Reagan is
one of the ablest, most experienced
and most truly representative men of
the South. He has served for many
years in the House and has just been
elected for a full term in the Senate.
That he should take the position he
has just done, in State like Texas,
is a significant sign of the times.
Mr.. Reagan paints the evils Of in
Temperance and depicts the magni-
tude and the dangers of the liquor
traffic in colors borrowed from the
apostles of temperance. He defends
the right of the State to prohibit the
manufacture or improper sale" of
intoxicants, holding that
There is u broad difference between laws
which interfere with legitimate trade and
with such as would interfere with the pur-
chase end sale of necessary food, drink and
raiment, called sumptuary laws, and laws
which have for their object the prevention
and punishment of crime and the preserva-
ton of public morals and decency.
The amendment having been sub
mitted at a special election for the
purpose of separating the issue from
politics, Mr.. Reagan holds to his
right as citizen to act upon his con-
victions. He deprecates the attempt
made by Democratic politicians to
"seek to identify that great and
grand historic party with the fortunes
and fate of whisky shops, drunkards
and criminals" In defense of his
position, he reminds the anti-Prohi-
bition Democrats that the State
Democratic Convention, which met
at Galveston last summer, inserted in
its platform Of principles a declara-
ton, in substance, that a citizen
might be Local Optionist or a Pro-
hibitionist and at the same time be
a Democrat"
In announcing his purpose to vote
for the amendment, he says it is
mot because believe prohibition

There is tale told of Mars Eddin,
the antique Turkish jester, who, up
on being invited to preach a sermon
to an assembly of true believers, man
aged to escape the undesired honor
three successive times by his wits;
The first time he mounted in the
pulpit, he said: go, true believers!
do you know what | am going to
say?"
"No," they replied.
Upon which, the wit replied, while
descending from the pulpit, "Ofwhat
use to preach to such ignoramuses?"
The second time he asked the same
question, whereupon the people re-
piled, "Yes,we know" '"Then, it is
useless for me to tell you," the preach
err replied, and again retired.
The third time the people consult
ed together and when the same ques-
ton was put to them, answered with
one voice, "Some of us know, and
some DON'T"
Let those who know tell those
who DON'T" was the prompt and trf-
umphant reply of the great Nars-Ed-
din.

because in my judgement it favors a
policy which will do much for the
improvement of the condition Of our
people pecuniarily, socially and NOR
ally, and towards placing them on a
higher and better plane of civiliza-
ton"
Whatever may be thought of Sen
ator Reagan's views, it cannot be de-
MED that he expresses them with
force and true independence, and
that they indicate remarkable adj
vance sentiment at the South.

LILACS.

Over the blossoming hedges
Heavy with all perfumes,
Sweetly today there 1oateth
The breath of the lilac plumes.
Dear is the deepening fragrace,
Subtly the sense it thralls,
And full of a sweet suggestion
Across my head it falls.
The odor bears me backward
To the heart of another May,
When the snowy sprays were tossing
In the air of fateful day
A day when purple splendor
Came flooding narrow life,
And the pomp of life's royal pageant
Displayed its calm with strife.
Never the breath of the lilacs
Comes with the apple blooms,
But the day of Fate comes with it,
And the old times deep perfumes.
l smell the blossoming locusts
That dropped above our way,
The spicy mint, the sassafras,
All orders of the May.
And even in the hush of night
The old time with me seems,
And lilac breath and apple bloom
Are with me in my dreams.

Young Blood Needs No Wine.
Chicago News.

Chicago News.
The temperance people throughout
the country will commend Mrs. Cleve-
land for not Offering wine at the
luncheon she gave to sixty young
ladies of Washington last Thursday.
1t has been the custom to serve sever
al kinds on such occasions, and this
was the first gathering of any pre-
tensions this winter where it was alb
sent. The action of the Woman's
Temperance Union at st. Louis in
reference to Mrs. Whitney's luncheon
to the Presidents bride was remem-
bered by all who went to the White
House the other day, but those who
know, say that it did not make the
slightest difference with Mrs. Cleve-
land, who would not have served
wine under any circumstances. She
does not drink it herself, and does
not believe it appropriate to serve
wine at gatherings of young ladies.
AS the Presidents wife sets the fash
ions, it may be expected that her
example will be followed by the
official society Of the capital, and
will certainly do no harm to the
world at large.

Temperance Reading.
Edited and Compiled by the w. G. T, U.
Aim of Prohibition.

Prohibition aims at a thing, not a
man. 1t would smite traffic, not a
personal indulgence; annihilate grog-
shops, not invade homes. See how
this works in other matters. a mob
is a bad thing. Prohibition says,
'Repress it, But to repress it, it
may be necessary to seize private
property and destroy life; never
theless, the mob is what prohibition
is after, not the life and property. A
confagration is a bad thing. Prohi-
ton says, Stop it, But to stop it }
may require seizure and obstruction
of property in the path of the fire ;
nevertheless, the fire is what prohi-
tion is after, not the property. A
contagious disease is a bad thing.
Prohibition says, Fence it in; the
house must be quarantined.' But
that's an interference with personal
liberty; nevertheless, the contagious
is what prohibition is after, not per-
sonal liberty. So the saloon is a bad
thing. Prohibition says, Abolish it,
But to abolish it, it may be necessa-
ry to interfere with some private
usage.

ate Judiciary committee to night
strengthened Vrooman's dynamite bill
and made its provisions more severe.
The amount to be forfeited for each fail.
ure to keep record Of fales of dynamite
explosives was raised from 500 to $3.50
Any person may bring an action in
court against violator of the
law. The bill provides that any
citizen could inform and instead of Civ
ing him one-half the amount, the person
is to receive the whole. Such action
can only be dismissed by consent of the
court. Any person recklessly having
in his or her possession such explosives
in public place, or who endeavors to
terrify or in,imidate Others with them, is
to be subject to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for one year or for life. The
possession of dynamic explosives, except
in the regular course of business, was
made felony, instead OF misdemeanor,
as in the bill, punishable by imprisonment
in the county jail or s ate prison for not
more than five years, or O fine not ex.
ceeding $4,000. or both. Any person
maliciously exploding dynamite or nitro.
glycerine in public place may be i'm
prisoned for life in the penitentiary, the
phrase "not less than one year" being
used. The bill provided that any mem.
bsr of the police force might sue for
forfeitures, and this was altered to any
peace officer or policeman. The COM
mittee will recommend that the bill es
amended be made special order and be
advanced on the file.

MIR. Kmap,s Arr Lectures.

The subject for Wednesday afternoon
was "Grecian Art" This lecture was
even more fascinating than the first; and
though getting about was little easier
than on Monday, there was much
larger audience. The Grecian architec-
ture and sculpture of the three great
national periods was illustrated by fine
series of stereopticon views. Refinement
is the central idea of Greek art. AL.
though Grecian architecture is more true
to law than that of any other nation, it
was principle with all art workers of
this subiile.witted race that "a slight
discord enhances the harmony" The
architect of the Church of the Madeleine
at Paris failed TO grasp this truth in one
important particular, and neglected to
make his corner pillars larger than the
others. The result is that they look o
good deal smaller.
Mr.. Knapp will lecture on Friday on
Medieval Art, and on Saturday and

The Charity Bail.

Next Thursday evening the grand
charity ball under the auspices of the
Ladies' Benevolent Society takes place
at Armory Hall. This will be the most
delightful social event of the season and
the object is so laudable that everybody
who attends will feel as if he were con-
tributing to noble cause as well as
having splendid evening. There will
probably be more elegant dressing at the
charity ball than was ever seen on a
similar occasion in Los Angeles. The
dry goods houses have been ransacked
for rare fabrics and the dressmakers
nearly driven distracted by the importu-
mites of fair customers, each determined
to outshine the other. Mr.. II. Mcclellan
will have charge of the floor with an
able corps of assistants and this makes
it certain that the dancing arrangements
will be perfect. Tickets admitting gen.
tleman and one lady are 80 and so cents
will be charged for each additional lady.
